An ostracon receipt from Thebes in which Pikos and his fellow chaff-collectors of the metropolis acknowledge receiving from Psais the chaff owed from the harvest of year 1. It is dated 28 November 139, under Antoninus Pius, and signed by Horos and Psenamounis.

In English machine translation

Pikos and partners, receivers of chaff of the metropolis for the 1st (district?), to Psais son of Senphthoumonthes. We have received from you your chaff of the produce of year 1 on behalf of the mainland (?) of the metropolis. Year 3 of Antoninus Caesar the lord, month Hadrianos 1. I, Horos, have signed. I, Psenamounis son of Paous, have signed.

Chaff (achyron) was collected as a levy, often for fuel or military use; 'ēpeiros' (mainland) probably denotes a district of the Theban metropolis. Hadrianos was an honorific month name used in place of Choiak.
